Repair your eye contour with Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate

Did you know that rubbing your eyes causes irritation to the inner eye and damages your skin?

Shiseido discovered that friction is one of the leading causes of a damaged eye contour. The ultimune eye concentrate reduces the effects of friction by up to 30%. The fast-absorbing serum helps your skin to defend itself from daily damage naturally.

The skin around our eyes is much thinner than the other skin on our faces. When exposed to high friction, such as eye rubbing or makeup removal, it can become unbalanced and eventually result in signs of ageing. Shiseido's exclusive technology helps restore firmness and resilience, reducing puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles. Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate is rich in skincare actives that moisturize the skin over 24 hours. Over time the eyes regain a youthful look and are 100% brighter.

What's Inside?

• ImuGeneration Technology™: Made from a mix of Reishi Mushroom and Iris Root, this formula helps to fortify the skin's ability to defend itself. Reishi mushroom is a rich anti-oxidant.
• Smoothing Defense Complex: This protects your skin from friction like a shield.
• ImuMoisture Complex: This powerful moisturizing effect helps prevent oxidation.

My Review

I have always loved Shiseido's skincare range, and after experiencing some dryness around the eye, I decided to try the Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate.

This eye contour serum is lighter and quick to be absorbed; it gave me an instant sensation of relief around the eyes. The serum helps to protect the skin by creating an invisible shield on the surface. I recommend this serum to those who are suffering from any discomfort. I often rubbed my eyes at the end of the day as my skin felt tight and tired. By using this serum morning and night, I stopped.

I paired the Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate with my Eudermine lotion (review here). I also noticed that my eye contour was smoother, thanks to the hydrating action of the serum. It is excellent to add to your skincare routine and can be used with other products.

Double infuzed hyaluronic acid

There is one thing that links all skin types together, and that's hydration. Eudermine has released its most advanced essence yet, offering a massive boost in moisture to your skin.

The Eudermine Activating Essence

This lightweight, ultra-hydrating formula is the perfect way to restore and maintain a healthy moisture level in the skin. Inspired by traditional Japanese skincare routines, it helps reduce pores, blemishes, and dullness, leaving you with glowing skin. With its active skin care ingredients, the essence brightens and evens your complexion whilst softening your face.

What's inside?

The Eudermine Activating Essence has a rich formula full of powerful skincare ingredients:

• Two types of Hyaluronic Acid offers 24-hour hydration. Locking moisture into the skin using two different hyaluronic molecules allows your skin to restore moisture and gain a plumped smooth appearance.
• Vitamin C: This antioxidant is perfect for reducing dark spots. Day by day, your pigmentation fades to become an even skin tone.
• Prebiotic Fermented Kefir Extract: This active sets up the perfect conditions for your skin to naturally thrive. Promoting the skin's natural turnover cycle strengthens the barrier function. Also, over time, this will help improve skin texture and appearance.
• Lastly, Yuzu Extract: This natural wonder works hand in hand with hyaluronic acid to restore moisture. Yuzu is also great at brightening the skin!

How to keep your skin hydrated?

A well-hydrated skin is every person's dream, but sometimes it's the most minor steps that can get us there:

• Drink water: You may think, “Duh”, but internal hydration is a significant factor in healthy skin. As much as skincare products help prevent and restore hydration, consuming the correct amount of water is the fastest way to restore hydration.
• Sun protection: Protecting your skin from UV sun rays and overheating will prevent your skin from losing too much water. Our skin naturally evaporates water throughout the day. UV rays can cause severe damage to your skin, like unbalancing your skin's natural barrier or causing profound dehydration through sunburns.
• Lastly, Add a hydrating step to your skincare routine: This step will keep your skin feeling comfortable. Skincare gives your skin an immediate source of hydration, preventing it from draining the moisture levels in the skin.

My Experience

I recently tested the Eudermine Activating Essence to keep hydrated skin. Super lightweight and fast absorbing, I was surprised by the rapid results I got. I applied the essence twice daily using a cotton pad, and my skin would immediately feel awake. Over three weeks, my skin went from dull and irregular to a smoother, healthy look. This serum is ideal for those needing an extra kick of hydration. I paired the essence with the new Bio-Performance Skin Filler Serums (review here), which hugely boosted my results. Overall, this essence fits perfectly into any skin routine and smells divine!

Eudermine Lotion

Ideal for any climate, location, or season, this water-like texture has a deep history. Known as one of the traditional geisha favourites, it helps protect your skin under heavy makeup. Captured inside its awakening formula is Bio-Hyaluronic Acid. This traps moisture in the skin resulting in a firmer and smoother look.

The Benefits

• Fast-absorbing, this silky fluid offers immediate and long-lasting hydration.
• Boosts cell turnover skin renewal.
• Protects skin from environmental aggressors such as pollution, weather and light.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Dermatologist-tested. Non-comedogenic.

What’s Inside

Bio-Hyaluronic Acid This highly resistant hyaluronic acid is ideal for humid countries. Intensely hydrating, it restores moisture in the deepest levels of your skin. TMG & Bio-Compatible Amino Acid Restores balance to the cell turnover process. When the skin renews itself at the correct speed, it is much brighter, tighter and clear.

My Experience

I am not a regular user of toners or essences in my skincare routine, but I was determined to know what all the buzz was about. I have been using the lotion for over two weeks, and my skin feels the best it has in a long time. And I apply the lotion using a cotton pad morning and evening before my serum and moisturizer. The lotion has a gentle action on the skin and immediately eases tight, uncomfortable skin. Suitable for all skin types, the essence restores your skin to its most efficient form.

I love to use this essence in the morning as its soft scent awakens the senses. My skin is much clearer since I have added this essence to my routine. The lotion helps calm redness and evens out the skin tone. I recommend this for those who regularly wear makeup and want to keep their skin looking bright. It makes your skin feel fresh and ready for the day without adding greasy layers or shine.

Another favourite from the brand is its newest launch, Bio-Performance Skin Filler Serums. The duo has changed how my skin looks and feels. Read about it here.

Shiseido Essential Energy Hydrating Cream

It is always a struggle to stick to a strict beauty regimen in today’s busy world. There is a different product for every problem which is not only harsh on the budget but it's also difficult to keep up with it. I used to have a hydrating cream, an anti-ageing cream and a normal moisturizer before I came across Essential Energy Hydrating Cream by Shiseido. I have an oily skin type, which makes it difficult to choose a moisturizer that is not greasy and heavy on my skin.

The cream consists of Ginseng Root extract which has a soothing effect on the skin. Also, it promotes the production of Hyaluronic acid naturally. The micronized and purified form of Hyaluronic acid helps deliver and retain hydration. The cream is suitable for all skin types since it is dermatologically tested. It is also free of any comedogenic substances and mineral oils.

This cream is perfect for a number of reasons. First of all, it is light on the skin without compromising the moisturizing effect. It feels amazing on the skin after applying and absorbs quickly. Since I have oily skin, I don't need to apply it again after I have done it in the morning once. It keeps my skin moisturized and hydrated all day long. It provides a great barrier if you want to use it as a base before applying sunscreen and makeup. I have been using the cream for the past three weeks, and I am already starting to see a decrease in my pore size. The fine lines near the corners of my eyes have also lightened significantly. I also apply it at night with my skincare routine which makes my skin feel soft and refreshed when I wake up in the morning.
